Making America Expensive Again: Coons Calls Out Trump on Inflation

Making America Expensive Again

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) went after President Trump in a Wednesday Fox News op-ed, accusing him of making America expensive again. "One month into his term, President Trump is making America expensive again, and everyone is feeling the pain," Coons said. Last year, President Donald Trump ran against inflation, promising affordability throughout his campaign.

Trump's Claims on Inflation

Trump recently attempted to distance himself from rising inflation, claiming that the surge had nothing to do with his return to the White House. The President pointed fingers at former President Biden for running up public spending.

• Inflation is back. Trump remarked in a Fox News interview, emphasizing that his administration had no part in the rising inflation metrics.
• Record Grocery Prices. Coons noted that essentials such as eggs are hitting record prices daily, highlighting the struggles Americans face.
• Economy Direction. Coons indicated that the first month of Trump’s policies signals troubling economic trends ahead.

During the ongoing 2024 presidential campaign, Trump has consistently blamed high grocery prices on the Biden administration, asserting that these economic challenges stem from previous leadership failures.

Looking Ahead

In a recent statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lauded Trump's early achievements, claiming that 7has already accomplished more than most presidents in their term.
